Have you hosted a dinner party …. ?

@traceyjayne My parents did when we lived in Africa. I remember on one occasion there was Scottish dancing on the lawn afterwards.

I grew up with my parents hosting dinner parties frequently with as many as 200 or more quests. I do host parties once in awhile with close friends only. I prepare food (well, the maid does) that I know they'd like. No pork! My friends don't eat them. And of course drinks! Let me attach a photo of the drinks that I usually have in my party.

I know my dad and his wife have them, but not like formal ones, where people have catered meals and people wear expensive jewelry.

We used to have dinner parties but we don't have the room now for more tha two couples. Vince likes to cook so he spend most of the day preparing the meal. It might be a traditional meal like a roast or he might have Mongolian lamb or whatever took his fancy at the time.
